Totalitarian movements, like radical Islam, always require “useful idiots,” such as Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's father, Robert Bergdahl, to help convince the people about to be enslaved that their soon-to-be totalitarian masters are saviors, not oppressors.

Ted Cruz is glad for the return of Bowe Bergdahl, but is concerned about the release of 5 Taliban prisoners. "How many soldiers lost their lives to capture the Taliban we released?" Cruz said it may send the wrong message & sets a bad precedent.
